Ideal Hotel

“Great location, friendly staff, lovely pool and very clean rooms!”

“The owners are welcoming, friendly and hospitable just what you’d expect from a family run business. The room was nice, air con worked wonders. The restaurant attached to the hotel is amazing, beautiful fresh food and according to our taxi driver the best pizzas in Crete, which we agree with. Perfect stay. And our second visit here.”

“Location and cleanliness”

“Very friendly family run hotel. The staff work very hard but still have time to help with any issues. Lovely swimming pool. The rooms were cleaned every other day & towels changed. The food in the restaurant is a mix of Greek with a few more familiar dishes and pizzas are cooked in a domed pizza oven and are delicious.”

“The staff here are so friendly and our room was cleaned every two days. The pool area is lovely and clean and there is a bar next to the pool. The food in the restaurant is delicious with a mix of Cretan and English dishes. They have a proper pizza oven too. Location-wise, it is in the centre of Kokkini Hani, with a variety of shops, cafes, bakeries and restaurants. Across the road is Spiridon who have a huge variety of cakes, pastries, ice creams, sorbets (including vegan), coffees and alcoholic drinks. It is also close to the beach and not far to transfer from Heraklion airport. The nearby beach town of Kato Gouves has lots of restaurants and bars too. You can get a bus to various other towns and villages if you want to explore further. We have stayed here two years in a row and will come again next year! Highly recommended!”
